|| Can any of the kern developers comment on what the supported console
|| will be in the NetBSD-release? I know that there has been reference
|| to 'pcvt'. Is this still the case?
||
|| This would be helpful to know from a general standpoint, as well as
|| XFree86 development. If the FreeBSD and NetBSD camps could agree on
|| one, that would be even better.
||
|| PS - I have been testing the pcvt betas, and it is a very nice
|| console. The developer does need to get more "current" though.
|
| as far as i know, syscons is up to date, and is a relatively
| good console driver.
|
| i never did get a chance to use pcvt though. i believe that
| the freebsd team is now using syscons as their driver of
| choice. all of the xfree86 problems go away with this
| driver [i thinks].
There is talk among the FreeBSD people of switching to syscons after
the next release, but it won't happen immedately. Rich
